Abstract

The present research aims to map the processes of subjectivation of dissident children of the cisheteronormative system, through the narrative of childhood memories, produced by LGBTI+ adults who lived their childhood in Jauru / MT. We will take as a basis for the production of maps the narrated memory and the production of life narratives, anchored in Maurice Halbwachs, Ecléa Bosi and Walter Benjamin, in dialogue with the principles of the philosophy of difference of Deleuze and Guattari. We will look for at least five adults who are self-declared LGBTI+s, therefore, dissidents from the sex/gender system who accept to be part of this research.After the first contact, individual meetings will be held with each participant called "chat", which will later become the life narrative of each one. The "chats" will be recorded in audio and video, and may take place in person or virtually. Both the method and the analysis of this cartography are based on theoretical-methodological inspiration in intersectional, feminist and decolonial studies. These narratives will be accompanied by that of the author of the work in dialogue with the others. It is intended to problematize the maps, looking for the lines of flight, the networks of associations and survival strategies that the people participating in the research produced in their experience as an LGBTI+s child, highlighting the processes of resistance to the process of coloniality of life. . It is intended, therefore, to strain and transform the relationship between studies of childhood and studies of gender and sexuality in contemporary times.
